Julia Santo and Kris Slifkin are wonderful! I found myself in desperate need of an Elder Care attorney last spring and Julia literally came to the rescue!! Julia and Chris “held my hand” through the overwhelming process of paperwork, Medicaid, provided resources, gave clear direction on how to navigate the various systems and just as important, were there for me any time I needed them. I highly recommend Lamson and Cutner and specially, attorney Julia Santo!!! Thank you!!!!

As a caregiver for many years of a family member who had Parkinson's disease, our Licensed Clinical Social Worker at our hospital Neurology Department presented me with three names of eldercare law firms as my family member's health was declining.
I interviewed all three firms, then selected Lamson & Cutner to proceed with our eldercare requirements for help in navigating the ever changing legal requirements as to long term nursing home care when on USA Government health care insurances.
I am so happy to have found this law firm for help , my family members agree ,that it was the wisest decision for me to make.
No one can do this complicated legal work alone and it is best ,if possible to proceed with legal issues when the ill person can still understand and contibute their own desires as to what their assets distribution ,usually but not exclusivly into an Irrevocable trust, as well as critical end of life decisions to their family which should be then ultimately drawn up in legal documents by an Attorney .
As the LSCW stated to me when I hesitated thinking "I had so much time to get to this issue" ...'Don't put it off"!

When I sold my house, owned by my irrevocable trust, my accountant said I would have to pay tens of thousands in taxes. The Littman Krooks lawyer I saw was both extremely thorough and very personable. He wrote a masterful letter to my accountant who passed it on to her legal office which then agreed with the Littman Krooks lawyer. The IRS accepted the filing, saving me tens of thousands of dollars.

My unfortunate circumstances brought me to know and appreciate Jeff Chabrowe, not just as my attorney, but caring and compassionate human being. Thought out the process of my case I realized Jeff was truly an advocate that I could trust . He is gentle, kind and treats you like he is your brother. With great acumen of the legal system of NYC , Jeff navigates these waters with experience and confidence . You will be hiring the right attorney without a doubt! I recommend Jeff highly !!! I will always hold Jeff Chabrowe in the highest regards. He is a good human being first and foremost ! Apologies if this sounds too sentimental and mushy, I will remember Jeff with a warm smile. Thank you Jeff

Having worked with a number of attorneys in the past, this is the first review I’ve ever written for one—and it is well deserved.

What stood out most was the genuine care he showed in resolving my concerns. I highly recommend Morgan Legal Group to anyone in need of trustworthy and efficient legal representation for estate matters. Their commitment to clients is truly top-notch.

I recently worked with Brain for my estate planning needs, and overall, it was a positive experience. The office was professional, and Brian S. Lyda was knowledgeable and attentive, answering all my questions clearly.
The only downside was the elevator situation in the building—it was slow and made getting to appointments a bit frustrating. However, the quality of service made up for it. I feel confident in the plans we put in place, and I appreciate the thoroughness of the process. I would definitely recommend Brain to anyone looking for estate planning assistance!

My company was facing a tricky situation with a potential lawsuit from a large corporation. I googled and first found a larger firm near me. The larger firm attorney required me to drive in (40min drive) for a consultation, and the advise was to file bankruptcy... I then looked for a second opinion, I found Mr John Lehr. Mr Lehr was responsive, attentive, spent time and did his research. Gave me a much better advise to proceed.

I had the pleasure of working with Dcellura for an initial legal consultation, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. Even though it was only our first consultation, his straightforward approach and empathy stood out immediately. He carefully listened to my concerns, provided thoughtful and clear advice, and guided me through complex legal matters with ease.
What stood out most was his genuine concern for my case and his ability to simplify legal jargon, making the entire process much less overwhelming. I’ve spoken with other lawyers, and Dcellura was by far the best—he’s knowledgeable, personable, and incredibly reliable. If you're seeking legal advice, look no further.

Paul helped me so much with a dispute with my landlord over a rent concession. When my security deposit was wrongly retained after they said the concession was “a mistake”, Paul helped me to agree on a settlement that I was very content with.
I have never been in a situation like this before, and have never needed to seek legal support. Paul’s approach was exactly what I needed during a time of uncertainty and high anxiety. The communication was always fast and straight forward, and Paul’s confidence in handling the situation gave me so much peace. I would definitely trust Paul to help me again in the future with a landlord issue, or any other legal trouble that requires someone who works as quickly and confidently as Paul.

An update now- Paul has recently helped me with a copyright case with a nasty client. He is kind, patient, and literally saved my life from this mess. He is so knowledgeable in many different areas of legal practice, and most importantly, he is very kind.
Previously worked with Paul on a sale of my condo. Paul is very efficient throughout the process. Some drama during the process but we managed to deal with them and he always looks out for my interests even though the buyers were nasty to deal with. He charges a very reasonable fee too so it’s a no brainer to work with Paul.

Adam took the time to listen to my concerns, thoroughly explained the legal process, and set realistic expectations for my case.
Throughout the entire process, he demonstrated exceptional professionalism and expertise. Adam was always available to answer my questions, promptly returning calls and emails, which made me feel supported every step of the way. His attention to detail and strategic approach were evident, and I truly appreciated the personalized care he put into my case.
What impressed me most was Adam's ability to navigate the complexities of the process with ease. He worked diligently to build a strong case, gathering evidence that ultimately made a significant difference. Thanks to his hard work, and that of his team, we achieved a favorable outcome that exceeded my expectations.
In addition to being a skilled attorney, Adam is genuinely compassionate. He understood the emotional toll that the situation had on me, and his empathetic approach made the experience much more manageable. I felt like more than just a client; I felt like a valued person.
If you are looking for an attorney who is not only knowledgeable and effective but also truly cares about his clients, I wholeheartedly recommend Adam. He made a challenging situation much easier to navigate, and I am incredibly grateful for his support and expertise. Thank you, Adam, for everything!

After firing my first TWO LAWYERS, I was finally relieved to have found Natalia. I had just escaped an abusive relationship and my ex decided he wanted to sue me for custody of our 1 yr old son.. (Even though he never showed any interest in being a father until I got the courage to leave him) He was incredibly skilled at playing the victim and I needed someone who was able to not only recognize this but to have the ability to present the truth to the judge. From our first consultation, I knew I finally found the right representation with Natalia. She was incredibly intelligent, attentive and perceptive. She helped me to navigate this nightmare with such professionalism and tenacity. After 2 1/2 years of litigation, the judge in fact saw that my ex dragged me to court under “self serving” purposes and awarded me Sole Legal AND Physical custody with permission to relocate out of state. This was a complex case and if not for Natalia’s wisdom and expertise, not to mention compassion, I don’t know where my son and I would be today. Lawyers are a dime a dozen but very few actually CARE about their clients. This is definitely what sets Natalia apart from all the rest. I highly recommend her if you find yourself in a contentious custody and/or divorce case. She will keep you grounded, focused and empowered with knowledge of applicable state laws.

What a Mediation Lawyer Can Do for You
A mediation lawyer specializes in resolving disputes outside of the courtroom through a process called mediation. Mediation involves a neutral third-party mediator who helps the disputing parties reach a mutually acceptable agreement. Mediation lawyers can represent clients in various matters, including divorce, business disputes, employment conflicts, contract issues, personal injury claims, and more.
Unlike litigation, mediation is a less adversarial and more cost-effective way to settle disputes, often leading to faster resolutions and preserving relationships between the parties involved.
When Should I Hire a Mediation Lawyer?
Consider hiring a mediation lawyer when you’re involved in a dispute and want to avoid the time, expense, and stress of going to court. Common reasons to hire a mediation lawyer include:
- Divorce or child custody disputes: A mediation lawyer can help you reach a fair settlement on issues like property division, alimony, and parenting arrangements without going to court.
- Business or contract disputes: For disagreements such as contract disputes, partnership conflicts, or intellectual property issues, a mediation lawyer can assist in resolving the matter through negotiation.
- Employment disputes: Issues like wrongful termination, discrimination, or wage disputes can be addressed through mediation to find common ground and avoid lawsuits.
- Personal injury cases: Mediation can help both parties agree on compensation in cases like car accidents or slip-and-fall claims without a prolonged court battle.
- Property disputes: Disputes over property ownership, landlord-tenant issues, or boundary disagreements can be settled more amicably through mediation.
- Family or inheritance disputes: Mediation can help resolve conflicts over wills or trusts without further dividing the family.

Ask about other forms of ADR, such as arbitration, if mediation doesn't resolve the conflict.
How to Check the Credibility of a Mediation Lawyer
To ensure you're hiring a reputable mediation lawyer, take the following steps:
- Verify their bar status: Confirm with your state bar association that the lawyer is licensed and has no disciplinary history.
- Look for mediation experience: Review their website or professional profile for specialization in mediation and successful case histories.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Check platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google for client feedback.
- Ask for references: Request references from past clients familiar with their mediation skills.
- Check for certifications: Look for certifications from organizations like the American Arbitration Association (AAA) or the Association for Conflict Resolution (ACR).
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To maximize the effectiveness of your initial meeting, bring the following:
- Relevant documents: Any materials related to the dispute, such as contracts, emails, financial records, or court filings.
- List of key issues: A detailed list of the main points of contention that need resolution.
- Timeline of events: A chronological account of events leading up to the dispute, including prior resolution attempts.
- Goals for the mediation: Be prepared to discuss your desired outcomes and areas where you're willing to compromise.
- Questions for the lawyer: Any queries about the mediation process, fees, or their approach to dispute resolution.
Being well-prepared will help the lawyer assess your case effectively and provide the best possible advice for resolving your dispute through mediation.
